One of them is Danish attacking midfielder <strong>Ronnie Schwartz<\/strong> who played for EA Guingamp last season and has joined the Danish outfit on loan. The 26-year old player featured against PAOK in the match held in France.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teemu Pukki<\/strong> is also an old acquaintance of PAOK. The 25-year old Finland international striker scored twice in as many league defeats and netted three goals in previous rounds of the UEFA Europa League. <strong>Johan Elmander<\/strong> and Norway international <strong>Elba Rashani<\/strong> of Albanian origin also have a tally of three goals each.<\/p>\n<p>After spells at Sevilla FC and Celtic FC, Pukki played for FC Schalke 04 when PAOK faced the Germans in the UEFA Champions League play-offs two years ago.

After starting his career in his home country Sweden, the 34-year old striker had spells in the Netherlands (Feyenoord, NAC Breda), France (Toulouse FC), England (Bolton Wanderers, Norwich City) and Turkey (Galatasaray SK), he ended up at Br\u00f8ndby IF. In the last two seasons, he hasn\u2019t been able to record his previous stats, an obvious sign that his best days are behind him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Without \u201cstars\u201d and deprived of their starting goalkeeper<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The biggest name of Br\u00f8ndby IF\u2019s roster this season is undoubtedly <strong>Daniel Agger<\/strong>, Denmark\u2019s captain and former centre back of Liverpool FC. After spending eight years with the \u201cReds\u201d, the 31-year old central defender returned to the club where he established himself.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"capimg\"><img class=\"wp-image-194033 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paokfc.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/elmander.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>At the age of 34, Johan Elmander remains a dangerous striker<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Agger however won\u2019t feature against PAOK, as he is recovering from an injury and is expected to stay sidelined until  the end of August, according to Br\u00f8ndby IF\u2019s medical report.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Agger, the Danish side won\u2019t be able to count on <strong>Luk\u00e1\u0161 Hr\u00e1deck\u00fd<\/strong>, whose transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt was announced a few hours ago.
